DREAM TITLE:DREAM OF SNAKES

So many of my dreams seem to feature black snakes. Sometimes
the snakes are frightening but at other times
they shine with light. I have been in hospital recently
and I wonder if the snakes in my dreams represent
something to do with my illness.

Dreams
are full of symbols. The snake in Christian imagery
emphasises the dark side, casting the serpent, the evil tempter in the Garden of Eden, as a spiritual threat;
but many cultures worshipped the snake and some
Indian yogis revere the serpent as a spiritual guide.

The Greeks attributed healing powers to the snake a
belief preserved in the caduceus, the snake-entwined
staff symbolising the medical profession.

The frightening
snakes in your dream represent the onset of your illness
but the snakes that shine with light symbolise your
return to good health.
